Illustration Portfolio | Shaun McNicholas

An exploration of shading and proportion from 1983. This piece is one of my earliest completed drawings and I attribute this particular piece to my beginning phase of exploring the possibility of being an artist as a career. This began my journey of creative exploration.

An exploration of composition from 1983. One of my earliest full page illustrations exploring composition and the use of space and background elements to ground the central figure inside of a scene. Up to this point most of my sketches and drawings were exercises in shading or perspective.
